Mummies with Heart Disease According to the website MedicalNewsToday.com, coronary artery disease accounts for about
a. Calculate the expected number of mummies with artery disease (assuming the rate is the same as in the modern day). Then calculate the expected number of mummies without artery disease (the rest).
b. Calculate the observed value of the chi-square statistic for these mummies.

- Based on a survey, more than 1 in 4 American children have cholesterol levels of 180 milligrams or higher.arrow_forwardThe National Center for Health Statistics, housed within the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tracks the number of adults in the United States who have health insurance. According to this agency, the uninsured rates for Americans in 2018 are as follows: 5.1% of those under the age of 18, 12.4% of those ages 18-64, and 1.1% of those 65and older do not have health insurance (CDC website). Approximately 22.8% of Americans are under age 18, and 61.4% of Americans are aged 18-64. Given that the person is an uninsured American, what is the probability that the person is 65 or older (to 3 decimals)?arrow_forwardTo compare average birth weight between autistics and non-autistic school children from the same school district, the investigator will use.arrow_forward
- Color blindness, or dyschromatopsia, is a form of genetic deficiency in color perception. The condition is much more prevalent among males than females, pointing to a genetic connection with the X chromosome. The frequency of dyschromatopsia in the Caucasian American male population is about 8%. However, it is thought that this proportion might be smaller among males of other ethnicities. We want to estimate the proportion of Asian American males who are color-blind. How large a sample size do we need in order to obtain a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error no greater than 4%, or 0.04? n=__________arrow_forwardEach year, researchers at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) administer the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). Researchers estimate the average amount of time Americans spend on daily activities, such as working, housework, and leisure activities. In particular, one activity that is of interest is the average amount of time Americans spend watching television each day. A researcher complied a random sample of 12 Americans and asked each person how much time they spent watching television each day. The results are given below. 2.7 2.3 3.4 0.6 4.8 1.8 3.7 4.8 1.8 4.6 4.2 1.6 Determine the point estimate, x¯ and the sample standard deviation, s.

An investigator compares the incidence of crime in the United States in 1991 and in 2001. In 1991, there were 28,000 crimes compared with 22,000 in 2001. Can you conclude that the US became more law-abiding over that time period?arrow_forward

- Each year, over 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In particular, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea (CDC.gov website). Of 142 cases tested in Alabama, 9 were found to be drug-resistant. Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a 0.02 level of significance. What is the p-value, and what is your conclusion? Test statistic = (to 2 decimals) p-value = (to 4 decimals) Conclusion: Select your answer - Choose the correct option. There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states. Alabama has the higher drug resistance rate. - Select your answer - ▼arrow_forwardEach year, over 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
